Pumpkin Fest set in downtown Clinton, Oct. 26

On Friday Oct. 26, the Clinton Guild will host it’s annual “Pumpkin Fest,” an evening festival, when talented area residents are invited to bring their decorated pumpkins for display along Main Street. There will also be horse drawn hayrides.

The pumpkins are judged in different categories and given prizes. There is no cost to enter and the contest is open to adults and children. Once again, the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite entry year to be honored as the “people’s choice” award.

All entries must be carved and include some form of illumination. Festivities will be held in Clinton’s Historic Shopping District beginning at 6 p.m. Pumpkins being entered into the contest must be registered between 4:30 and 6:30 at the “Halloween Tent” on Main Street.
